Αστροναύτης and αστροναύτισσα are Greek equivalents of the English word "astronaut." Context makes clear whether feminine (case 2) or masculine (example 1) gender suits for the English singular noun whose origins trace back to the merger of the Greek words ἄστρον (ástron, “star”) and ναύτης (naútēs, “sailor”). The respective pronunciations will be "A-stro-NAF-tees" in the masculine and "A-stro-NAF-tees-sa" in Aeginan Greek.
